Latest updates on School Closures
Tue 05 Jan 2021Dear Parents and Carers,
As expected, last night we received confirmation that all schools would need to close. We had already taken steps to contact families during the day as we prepared to hear such news. Maplefields will close to students with the exception of the children of Key workers and those children who may be most vulnerable if they were unable to attend school.
At the time of writing this update, you should have been contacted by someone from your child’s class with confirmation of the plans for your child. If we haven’t been able to contact you, please call us today on 01536 424 090.
We will continue to provide information and updates via our school website. The school office will remain open during school hours and you can also contact us using the office@maplefields.northants.sch.uk email.

Due to the changes announced by the Government over the last few days we have decided to close the school for a training day on Monday 4th January 2021.
The school will be closed to ALL students. This will allow time to assess the impact and actions required to keep everybody safe.
We will be updating all parents and carers via the website with regards to the plans for the rest of the week before the end of the day on Monday.

Update on Free School Meal Vouchers
Thu 17 Dec 2020Dear Parents/Carers
For those who are eligible for Free School Meal Vouchers, we have received the following message from Northamptonshire County Council in relation to downloading your vouchers;
Your school may have recently been contacted by parents stating they are unable to claim their Xmas Holiday food voucher that you have kindly distributed on behalf of Northamptonshire County Council.
This issue is being caused by the unprecedented demand for supermarket vouchers that has arisen from the government distribution of the Winter Covid Grant to all Local Authorities for use for this purpose. Essentially, the companies that purchase and distribute these vouchers to our online distribution partner, Huggg, can not get vouchers to Huggg for distribution to individual families quickly enough.
Should you receive any enquiries from parents, please advise them as follows;
- Their voucher is completely safe and secure and they will be able to access it in the near future;
- If a parent has attempted to access a voucher for a specific supermarket and it has failed to work, they should wait for between 1-2 hours and try again;
- If possible, parents should avoid trying to claim the voucher between 1-4pm as this appears to be the peak time for doing so and the most likely timeframe they will encounter issues;
- Clicking on the voucher link multiple times in quick succession is serving to heighten demand on the system and will lead to longer delays.
Thank you for you continued co-operation and assistance in this matter.
Yours Faithfully
Northamptonshire County Council

Virtual Tour
Fri 03 Jul 2020Over the last few weeks the staff at Maplefields have been working hard to make our new students feel really welcomed. Part of that process includes trying to help families who are brand new to the school understand and see as much as possible about what we do over here.
We have prepared a small virtual tour of the school that allows you to click from spot to spot around the site and even into some areas of the school building.
CLICK HERE to access the link to our tour. It’s not finished yet, there’s much more to see. It should however let you work around through the gates and even lets you see what it will look like as you drive up towards the school.
We hope folks find this helpful and interesting. If you have any feedback or find something doesn’t work please let us know at smile@maplefields.northants.sch.uk
